Melissa Auf Der Maur Returns with New Music After 16 Years

In an exciting announcement for rock fans, Melissa Auf Der Maur is set to release her first new music in 16 years. The Montreal-born artist, known for her work with iconic bands Hole and the Smashing Pumpkins, will unveil her latest project titled BASS WOMB ROOM: My ’90s 4-Track Demos x Field Recordings on September 4 via Envision Records.

This new collection features seven previously unheard demos recorded in the ’90s, along with eight new interludes created for her upcoming exhibition, Melissa Auf Der Maur: My ’90s Rock Photographs, opening September 2 at the Art Gallery of Ontario. In addition, a 240-page photobook will be released on September 8 through DelMonico Books/D.A.P. and the AGO.

Auf Der Maur describes BASS WOMB ROOM as a glimpse into her creative process during a time of immense pressure from the music industry. “These songs represent my internal experimentation and a way of keeping the Montreal art girl alive inside,” she shared.

Adding to the anticipation, Hole is also teasing a special announcement this Friday, sparking speculation among fans about a potential reunion or re-release of their classic album My Body, The Hand Grenade.
